Domaine du Cellier Aux Moines Description
The Cellier aux Moines is the renaissance of one of the oldest domaines in Burgundy, in Givry, known as a Cistercian Cellier surrounded by its Clos since 1130. The Clos du Cellier aux Moines is a Premier Cru Classé in Givry which today covers 13 hectares (32 acres). The Domaine du Cellier aux Moines owns 5 hectares (12 acres) of perfectly oriented Premier Cru planted around the original Cellier. Just above the Clos du Cellier, it owns another small Clos of 27 ares (two thirds of an acre) surrounded by thick walls, which had been left fallow since the phylloxera crisis. Replanted in 2010, it was named Clos Pascal.
In 2015, Guillaume Marko joined the Domaine as head of vineyards and winemaking. Holding a DNO (diplôme national d’œnologie) from Dijon University, Guillaume trained during few years in famous wine estates of Côte de Nuits.
Burghound: 88 Points
A very pinot nose combines notes of both red and dark cherry along with hints of earth and spice. There is solid volume, especially in the context of the vintage, to the delicious and suave middle weight flavors that conclude in an ever-so-mildly warm if lingering finish. This well-made and noticeably forward effort could easily be enjoyed upon release though a few years of keeping should help to add depth.
